What should I do if I have brown discharge after my period ends on the 16th of this month?

Patient's question:

The period ended on the 16th of this month. Suddenly, after 3:00 PM yesterday, I experienced sharp pain on the left side of my abdomen, which has never happened before. Today, I feel a bit better, but there is also dark brown discharge in my underwear. What could be the reason? (I have never given birth and have not been pregnant before.)

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description and speculation, the possibility of spotting during ovulation is relatively high. After menopause, hormonal interference can cause a small part of the endometrium to shed, leading to minor skin peeling and bleeding. The small amount of blood is hydrolyzed, turning into brown discharge, accompanied by abdominal discomfort. Please don't worry. I hope this helps. The above advice is for the question "My period ended on the 16th this month." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
